Last Time:
She and the lord walked out of the room and I joined Lindethiel.
When we arrived back at my room we said our good nights then I walked into my new room. I didn't even change clothes, I fell back on the bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the soft pillow, engulfing me in dreams about the mystical eyes that I saw at the announcement dinner.
I couldn't wait til' the talk in the morning.
The sun shined through the windows and woke me up. I guess being an elf makes you a light sleeper. I remembered my dreams last night and sighed.
-Dream Sequence-
I was walking through a forest with really green, tall trees. The sun was setting and it was deathly quiet.
I heard a twig being stepped on and whipped around to come face to face with an elf, the same elf that I saw at dinner that evening. He looked more glorious up-close than he did when I was glancing at him from across the room. His eyes were the most unique greyish-blue color I had ever seen, his hair was so golden it was practically glowing, and his figure was pale and slender. He was looking at me with those eyes in lust and I shuddered. He had to be the most beautiful elf in the whole Middle Earth and he apparently was interested in me. I have no idea why, he probably could get anybody. He stepped closer and I quickly took a step backwards, he kept doing that until I was pressed up against a tree. He took one more step and I could feel his breath on my face. I looked down, and felt his hand under my chin. He raised my head up and looked me in the eye. I gasped when I saw what was swimming in his eyes: lust, desire, confusion, and interest. It dawned on me that he didn't know why he was feeling that way, too. My gaze flicked to his lips and he licked his in response. I hesitantly moved my lips closer to his and I saw his eyes flutter shut. My lips met his in the most gentlest and sweetest kiss I had ever experienced. He kissed me back more intently and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt him nip my bottom lip. I gasped and he slid his tongue in my mouth and explored my hot cavern. I felt dizzy from lack of air and reluctantly pulled away and leaned my forehead against his, locking gazes once again. Just when he was leaning in again...I woke up.
-End of Dream-
I felt hot and bothered. I didn't understand any of these new feelings. I had never had many relationships in the past before I figured out I didn't like girls, and when that occurred to me I never had the time to pursue a relationship.
I remembered I had a talk with Lady Galadriel today and jumped out of bed. I rushed over to my wardrobe and searched for a fitting outfit for a meeting.
I pulled out a light gold tunic and brown leggings, fixed my hair in one tight braid and fastened my boots on. I didn't know the way to the Lord and Lady's talan so I figured I would try to find Lindethiel or another servant and ask for directions.
I walked to the door and stepped out of it only to be greeted by two guards.
"My prince." He bowed.
I nodded and said,"Good morning. Do you happen to know where Lindethiel is?"
"Thank you. She should be here soon. She was supposed to wake you and take you to the lady. Since you're already up and ready; I could escort you."
"Thanks, but I think I will wait for Lindethiel since she is probably on her way."
"Whatever you want, my prince."
I huffed. "Enough of this prince stuff, I'm not used to it and really would like it if you just called my Marcaunon or Marc."
The guard looked slightly shocked. "Very well, my pr-, I mean Marcaunon. My name is Suiadan."
I turned to the other guard and said, "And yours?"
He nodded and said, "Arbellason, eneth nin." {My name is Arbellason}
I bowed to both and saw Lindethiel walking towards me. I nodded at them and walked towards her, too.
"My prince. The lady wanted me to escort you to the throne room for your meeting. Follow me please."
I nodded and followed closely. I realized this place was really big and had a lot of stairs.
We passed the archery field and training center. I saw a lot of the golden-haired elves from the dinner last night but not the one I was looking for.
Lindethiel stopped and knocked on the door.
"Come in, please." The Lady's voice was heard.
We walked in and saw her sitting on her throne and Celebron wasn't there.
Lindethiel bowed and said she would be waiting outside.
I walked up to Galadriel and bowed my head and said,"My lady, a pleasure it is to see you again."
She stood and curtsied. "As it is mine too. Come sit, please."
I walked over to my throne, that was similar to the one in the dining hall, and sat.
"Thank you, my lady. Do you know what I wanted to speak about?"
She smiled, a beautiful sight, and chuckled.
"Yes, Marcaunon. I am thinking you want to discuss yesterday evening at the announcement dinner? Am I right?"
I nodded. "Yes, my lady. You're right. I'm confused and have this feeling of deep longing that I can't really explain. And I feel like I should be somewhere with someone and can't help but think of the person in my dream last night."
He noticed her lips twitching upwards in a smile. "You had a dream of someone? Was it intimate?"
He blushed and nodded his head. She had a full blown smile now.
She stood up and walked over to him and drew him into a hug.
His eyes widened and he started.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally!"
"What? Finally what?"
She laughed and said, "You finally found your mate. It is always the one you dream about after you first see them. You also feel longing when you're apart."
His eyes became wider at that and he took in a deep breath.
"Mate? He was my mate? The beautiful elf in my dream was my mate?"
"Yes, 'that beautiful elf' has a name." She laughed kindheartedly.
He laughed, also. "Yes, I know. What is it?"
She chuckled once more. "Legolas. Legolas Greenleaf son of Thranduil, King of Mirkwood."
"Greenleaf and he's a prince? Was that coincidental? My name being Goldleaf and me also being a prince?"
She laughed again. "Yes, it was."
He laughed with her and talked some more.
They continued to talk well into the afternoon and then he dismissed himself.
He also dismissed Lindethiel to take a walk by himself.
He went by the archery field once again and looked into it.
His heart stopped beating when he noticed who was shooting arrows. He gasped and drew the elfs attention, the only one in the room, (how convenient, lol). Legolas, aka 'the beautiful elf', dropped his bow and arrows and walked briskly over to me. I took a sharp intake of breath and dropped the scrolls on mates that the lady had given me.
Legolas bent over to pick up the scrolls and I blushed heavily when he arched a perfectly shaped eyebrow. I looked away and felt a familiar tug in my chest when I felt his hand on the side of my face making sure we held each others gaze. I felt like a was reliving my dream when I looked into his eyes.
He cleared his throat and said, "Why are you reading these?"
"Umm...I-I-I re-re-cently (gulp) found my mate."
He looked away and let his arm fall to his side. He probably thought it was someone else. Darn. He was walking away when I went up to him and tugged on his arm. He turned back around and just stared at me.
"What?" He asked bitterly.
I stared at him in confusion. He must really be jealous. I walked closer and leaned up closer to his face. "It's you." I breathed, then kissed him gently and it was so much better than my dream. Definitely.
He gasped and closed his widened eyes. He kissed me back sweetly and wrapped his hands around my neck, while I pulled him closer and deepened the kiss. I was the first to pull away and he looked at me, stunned.
"I'm y-your mate? Really?"
I nodded and he smiled so big I thought his face was going to cramp later.
He leaned in again, and unlike my dream, I didn't wake up. :)
